Hi there,
I have a blank page when i activate salient theme I think this bug is related to an incompatibility issue with my server or salient theme.
Hey emagingroup! Please see my response to your last post 
Thank you very much
You’re welcome 
Hi ThemeNectar,
I understand if you can’t answer this question about portfolios. I want to build a site showcasing my work as a videographer. I would love to have a selected portfolio on the “home” page kind of like the “portfolio eye candy” demo but I don’t know how the different sizes would work for video. So my question is what would you think would be the best way to go about building a video only portfolio?
I like the “Gallery Only Example” – it feels modern and very fast to get from one portfolio item to the next even when in fullscreen/or lightbox …. awesmoe…... I am imagining it with only videos (hosted on youtube or vimeo) but would like to see a little caption or even better a Headline/text/client name/sidebar next to each video. How can I do that?
But now I see that with the “gallery only example” there is no way to send visitors directly to one specific portfolio item (via just copying a link in the address bar) ... that I only get when using the normal portfolio function …. while I feel http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/portfolio/flippin-the-bird/ deliveres what i need I feel it looks uninspired and grey and there is no easy way to navigate to the next portfolio item. (the tiny “left” and “right” arrows on top are rather invisible) ....
Can I change the background color of just portfolio pages? Or move the “left” & “right” arrows to left and right of the portfolio item? Kind of like a slider? Or is there a way to build this using a slider where each slide has a unique url in the addressbar?
Sorry for using the commentary here to think loud. and ask for help. I hope that is ok?
Hey theroyalvideographer!
Use this in the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#portfolio-nav ul.controls #prev-link {
position: fixed;
left: 10px;
top: 45%;
}
#portfolio-nav ul.controls #next-link {
position: fixed;
right: 10px;
top: 45%;
}
.single-portfolio {
background-color: #000!important;
}
.single-portfolio .container-wrap {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
Cheers 
Thank you I will lokk at it tomorrow!!
Sounds good! 
Quick question about reducing the size of the font in the search entry field on the header bar. Right now it’s extremely large. I’ve tried to change it in the css:
search-outer #search input[type=text] {
But this doesn’t seem to do it. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Hey rob!
Enter this into your Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
#search-outer #search input[type="text"] {
font-size: 32px!Important;
}
Hi, looking to purchase…
Wondered whether the menu can be moved to the bottom of the slider and then stick to it as your scroll down?
Whether the slider can be made full screen/ the height changed so you can’t see the next page below?
How customisable are the colours?
Hey archedite,
1. This would require custom development.
2. Yes, there’s an option for fullscreen on the slider 
3. You can define your own color scheme using up to 4 different accent colors and easily change almost any element to use them.
Cheers 
Hi ThemeNectar!!
Really great theme! Well done!
GLWS guys!
Thanks so much claimpt

Hi there,
I have a blank page when i activate salient theme I think this bug is related to an incompatibility issue with my server or salient theme.
Hey emagingroup!
You could be running out of memory on your server – try to add this line to your wp-config.php file which is located at the root of your WordPress install:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
Hi There Nectar
Enjoying using this theme.
Couple of quick questions / requests;
1. Images in the Nectar Slider – Is it possible to place images, rather than just type in the slide-in animated features? (Like Jupiter’s slider for example). It would be awesome if possible – Means you could have a logo / image float over the parallax – sweetness!
2. Still image texture – Like the option to add a texture overlay to the video backgrounds, is there a simple way of being able to add that to still backgrounds too? – Given they are doing some serious resizing, I think it would enhance the overlay content, and mask the pixelation of the background somewhat.
3. Just need some help with tightening up my type headings in Nectar. I’ve updated the letter-spacing: -2.5px; in the css, but I’d prefer to keep it in the custom css field to keep track of it. Can you let me know what the custom entry would look like to effect both the heading and sub heading?
Cheers mate – love your work.
I’ve sorted 1. Great – Love your thoughts on 2 & 3 please 
Hey radiantfilms!
2. Yes, but it would require a mod to the functions.php file – open that up and find this section:
if($background_type == 'video_bg') {
$active_texture = ($video_texture == 'on') ? 'active_texture' : '';
$slider .= '<div class="video-texture '.$active_texture.'" />';
and change it to this:
$active_texture = ($video_texture == 'on') ? 'active_texture' : '';
$slider .= '<div class="video-texture '.$active_texture.'" />';
if($background_type == 'video_bg') {
3.
.swiper-slide .content h2, .swiper-slide .content p {
letter-spacing: -2px!important;
}
Cheers 
Awesome – thanks man – I’ll give them a bash.
You’re welcome 
I was looking at purchasing your theme, I was wondering if I could use it for a company who’s style rules require the logo to be right aligned and the menu needs to be aligned left. Is this possible by the page editor or is there a CSS code I can paste it to do this … Please advise
Hey realcoach!
Yes, this is possible via custom css which I could assist you with 
Cheers
Hey danialMd5, there’s no RTL support by default at this time.

Hi
The contact form doesn’t work. I’m not receiving any emails. I checked the email address, everything’s correct. Suggestions?
Tx
Also I’m having issues with displaying the portfolio in masonry mode. It simply won’t make the pictures as 1:1 1:2 2:1 or 2:2 ratio… I followed the documentation and sized the pictures above the minimum size for the respective ratio. The page simply puts them in two columns masonry style, not full screen. Please let me know what I’m doing wrong.
Hey alienintelligence!
1. This points to an issue with how your server is configured to process outgoing emails – I would contact your hosting provider and see if they can assist.
2. If you can share a URL to your portfolio page I’d be glad to take a look 
Cheers
Thanks mate, having a look at the server side of things. Here’s the url for the portfolio: http://www.alienintelligence.com.au/portfolio-2/
You’re welcome 
In regards to the portfolio – all items have the correct sizing except this one: http://www.alienintelligence.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/StylishFlowers-featured3-384x500.jpg but at the same time, it shows that the style “wide’ is selected for all. You should vary it up and chose different sizes for different projects to make the layout work correctly 
I got it now…. so the style tells it if they’re tall/wide/small/large not the actual size of the image. Thanks!
You’re welcome 
hi..
(SALIENT )logo Just below… ””Photo title(Masonry Blog)”” Settings option where?
Please you E-Mail-Adresse~!
Setting options position “Home,Title Slider ” Where???
Hey backin79, I’m having a bit of trouble understanding exactly what you’re asking in the first question. In regards to the slider title positioning – you have all available position options to choose from in each slide you create 
How to make all thumbnail image looks like the same size?
Hey toiji,
as long as you’re supplying a featured image and not the custom thumbnail, automatic cropping will occur. When using the custom thumbnail option it’s up to you to ensure they’re all the same sized images.
Cheers 
But I have not using custom thumbnail… all of the featured image are just upload to the featured image… However, the automatic cropping have not happen?
Is there anyway you could allow me to log in so I can check on it for you?
If so, please open a private ticket at http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ with your credentials and I’ll take a peek 
SURE,LET ME CHANGE MY WORDPRESS TO ENGLISH.
Thanks 
Hello Nectar,
Is there a way to have a featured image for a blog post without having the featured image in the post itself? I want a preview image to show up but I do not want that image to be in the post.
I like the featured image here: http://www.upupweddings.com/blog/ I do not like having the featured image in the post itself here: http://www.upupweddings.com/2014/02/12/russ-marybeth/Thanks!
Hey althaua!
Just add this into the Custom CSS box located in your Salient Options panel:
.single-post .post-featured-img {
display: none!important;
}
Hey again Nectar!
Is there a contact page built into this theme at all or a plugin you could recommend to add one? I know there’s a tab for Contact in the Salient theme options, but that’s more for a location, I’m trying to find more of a contact form to put on the page.
Thanks! Smashasaur
Hey Smashasaur!
The recommended contact form plugin is Contact Form 7
It should work on any page.
Cheers
Okay last question I promise lol, for the demo page where you have an icon sitting above text laid out across four columns, is that the text with icon shortcode? I’m trying to get my icon right above my text but the shortcode has it going off to the right. Thank you for all your help!!! 
Hey again 
That’s actually just a standard text column with a large icon shortcode placed at the top.
Cheers!
Hello, great theme, I would like to know 2 things:
1. Can i Have multiple featured images on the blog frontpage? 2. How can I have the title of the post above the featured image on the blog frontpage
Thanks
Richard
Hey Richard,
instead of setting a featured image just insert your images into the post content – this will satisfy both of your desires as you won’t be limited to one and they will also appear under the title 
Hi, i just bought this theme today and am still getting familiar with all it’s capabilities. So far, I am wow’ed. Will comment again once I’ve grasped more of the functionality. Am really enjoying getting to know this theme.
Hey sherissar!
Thanks for sharing your experience so far 
Cheers!
i cant get my product category page in this way http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/shop/, when i click edit in the category i dont get this http://i.imgur.com/di9edzg.jpg.
Hey alexandrestreit,
as long as you’re setting the header on the main product page page, it should appear on all WooCommerce product display/archive pages such as: http://themenectar.com/demo/salient/product-category/clothing/
Probably the coolest theme I’ve ever seen. I must have it.
Questions: 1.) Are there any known compatibility issues with W3 Total Cache? 2.) Like tivnet (above), I too would like to know if the theme is WooCommerce 2.1 compatible.
Thanks so much, A.
Also, I’m wanting to apply this theme to an existing site. If I import the dummy data (to help understand the features better), will doing so mess with/delete my existing pages or posts or products, or will it just add to the site content already created?
Thanks a lot ajm_76!
1. No, but if you’re going to use the minification option for js/css you’ll need to ensure the order of the assets remains the same in the combined file or else things will break
2. Yes it is 
3. It will only add the content that doesn’t exist which will most likely be almost all of them.
Cheers!
Hi buddy. I can’t put videos to work on my banner. Can you help me? Using 3.8.1 wordpress version. Here is the link: http://brainworks.tempsite.ws/brainworkswp/
Hey Fernando!
Your Home Is showing no slides added – are you meaning to use the Home Slider or have you set up video slides in a Nectar Slider?
Question – what resolution do you recommend for videos featured on the homepage slider?
Provided it’s still 16:9, is 426 X 240 or even 320×180 px good enough to maintain video quality when displayed as large as on the demo site?
Cheers
Hey ChipmunkDesign!
I actually used Full HD sized videos, and would recommend either that of 1280×720 to provide good quality on desktop monitors
